If you are concerned about this then a heatsink/cooler upgrade will take care of that.

"What would I need more PCI slots for? GPU?"

Not a GPU as that fits into a PCI-E slot. As for what you might need PCI slots for,Sound card, TV card, USB card but it is unlikely that you would ever need all the slots an ATX motherboard would come with.

"If the Ti are the slightly better versions of the non Ti would it worth me just going up to the next card i.e. GTX 660 - GTX 670?"

As I do not know what GPU you have in mind to buy it is difficult to answer your question. I went from a HD 6870 to an Asus DirectCU 11 GTX 670 which was a massive leap and I bought mine shortly after they were released and cost quite a bit of cash. But it is a fantastic card and will handle anything I throw at it maxed out without any trouble. So it really comes down to how much you are prepared to spend. I have heard good things about the 660Ti so I would go for that.

"Can you recommend a brand for GPU"

Asus, Sapphire, Evga, Gigabyte.

"And should I look into Modular or non modular PSU? Is 80+ Bronze ok?"

I prefer modular as there are less cables to tidy away and of course you only use the cables that you need. Something like this is perfect and probably one of the best brands out there. Corsair.
